Exclusive: Isabella Acres from BETTER OFF TED – reason #1591 to watch this show!

April 1, 2009 Amrie

You know I’ve been championing the sheer brilliance that is BETTER OFF TED since way before it premiered two weeks ago. Another reason you should be watching? The adorable little girl that plays Ted’s daughter Rose on the show – Isabella Acres. In tonight’s all new episode, called “Through Rose Colored HAZMAT Suits,” through an unfortunate incident with the nanny, has to bring Rose to work. This is the episode that solidified my love for the show! Isabella was kind

LIFE ON MARS – How will it end?

March 31, 2009 Amrie

You all know that I was rooting 100% for the US version of LIFE ON MARS to take hold and become the hit that it so desperately deserved to be. This wasn’t a COUPLING disaster; it was an OFFICE kind of remake, and it should have found solid footing. Sadly, that wasn’t the case, and we’ll see our final LIFE ON MARS starring Jason O’Mara air tomorrow night on ABC after an all new LOST. Executive Producers Scott Rosenberg and

A chat with CUPID and his Doctor

March 31, 2009 Amrie

ABC premieres the reboot of the Rob Thomas series CUPID (which first aired in 1998), tonight on ABC. The story of a man named Trevor who the people of NY kind of think is crazy, because he thinks he’s CUPID. The Cupid, the man tasked with matching 100 souls in true love before he’s able to get back to Mount Olympus. He is required by law to see a shrink, which is where the lovely Claire McRae comes into the

GREEK's newest pledge, Jesse McCartney

March 30, 2009 Amrie

Tonight’s all new GREEK is the first of 6 episodes with guest star Jesse McCartney as Andy, the blue blooded pledge that Evan is dying to have on his team at Omega Chi. It sounds like Andy may not want all the pressure of being an OX, and may end up trying his hand at some Kappa Tau fraternization! Jesse had a few minutes to chat the other day, and we talked about what to expect when he joins the

Spencer Grammer dishes on GREEK

March 30, 2009 Amrie

GREEK returns tonight on ABC Family with an all new cycle of episodes. The first episode back is big with the funny, and the dramatic, and is one of my favorites so far! Casey is back from her internship in DC, and she’s holding onto some secrets from her summer. Rusty is an active in the KT house, and he’s got some living space problems. We find out quickly which sorority (ZBZ or IKI) Rebecca chose, and why, and there’s

Talking LEGEND OF THE SEEKER with Craig Horner

March 27, 2009 Amrie

So I had some free time and some free TiVo space, and told myself it was time to check out LEGEND OF THE SEEKER, and I have to say that I don’t know what it is (it could be the picture above), but something is keeping me coming back to the show! (Hey @emojunky – I am hooked now, too)! I had a chance to speak with the series star Craig Horner, who plays Richard, the Seeker in question, and

Regina Newly for Mother of the Year: Jean Smart talks SAMANTHA WHO?

March 26, 2009 Amrie

Hello folks, I implore you! Skip AMERICAN IDOL or TiVo it and fast forward through to the end before you watch something else. Why, you ask? Because SAMANTHA WHO? is back tonight and it’s fantastic! Sam and Todd are friends and roommates and they both want more but they’re both afraid to say more, and at one point, I’m pretty sure Sam asks him to hit on Andrea’s boyfriend. The boyfriend she’s been “dating” through text message, but meets for the

Chatting MOTHERHOOD with Megan Mullally

March 26, 2009 Amrie

Since WILL AND GRACE ended a few years ago, Megan Mullally has tried her hand at various guest parts, and her own talk show (which I loved). Tonight marks her return to TV with a role in ABC’s latest comedy offering, IN THE MOTHERHOOD. She plays Rosemary, a 50-year-old free spirit who raised a decidedly well round teenage son on her own. The character’s best friends are Jane (Cheryl Hines) and Emily (Jessica St. Clair) and she has a little something-something!lite with

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Nathan Fillion is CASTLE

March 9, 2009 Amrie

Nathan Fillion knows that a “man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do,” to quote his now infamous Captain Hammer from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. And on his new show, Castle, what a man (in this case, Richard Castle, best-selling author) has to do (besides be adorably charming) is follow around a pretty homicide detective (Kate Beckett, played by Stana Katic) in an effort to help her find the serial killer behind the life-imitates-art murder spree that brings to life

Jeffrey Donovan talks BURN NOTICE

March 5, 2009 Amrie

The 2nd season finale of BURN NOTICE airs tonight on USA and it’s fantastic! Action packed, great acting by everyone involved. Surprises, and gun fights, and Michael Weston being the coolest, smoothest mother-frakker in Miami. In tonight’s all new finale, the Michael and Carla interaction comes full circle, and Michael gets prepared to face off with her bosses. Jeffrey Donovan had some time to chat with a group of my blog buddies and I wanted to pass along what we talked about
